More thought on Ron Paul not really seeing himself in the White House. I can see the higher ups in the Republican party agreeing about wanting smaller government but resisting his pacifists foreign policy. Ron Paul will not get the GOP nomination because the Republican party does not know what it is about. Is it Authoritarian or Libertarian? Until it chooses one or the other unequivocally its just a mass of discontents with a country club president in charge.
My belief is that there should be a two party system with one having an authoritarian and the other a libertarian perspective. Left and right are such a muddle that the electorate is confused. If the left would take the mantle of authority and justify government intervention then the right should represent liberty and push back. The ying and yang of these two ideologies would more perfectly represent us then the current liberal versus conservative reality that is being defined for us. I don't buy the status quo and neither does Ron Paul. But nobody else gets it, on either side.
There is a book in here.
